Pics uploaded to the album. Every fitting was re-bedded. Bow rail removed and wet balsa core removed and epoxy applied. The forward hatch had leaked, so the balsa core had to be hogged out and replaced with plywood plugs and epoxy, the handrails were sanded and have 5 coats of spar varnish, the rear of the cabin was replaced (used almost all the original hardware), two coats of bottom paint, the gel coat was repaired and two coats of paint on topsides, two coats of paint on the interior, spar varnish on all interior wood surfaces, hogged out the wet balsa core and repaired it where the kicker mount is through-bolted and a new wood mounting plate made, new VHF antennae and a few other minor cosmetic repairs.
I was lucky to have dry, heated space with all the tools etc. . . at my disposal. Not cosmetically perfect, but ready for years of service. I'll be going trolling for kings with the four boys we are adopting as soon as the weekend weather permits. |

Great job on the boat--and great job on the adopting of 4 boys! Lots of respect for both!

What you're doing is wonderful. You're doing my dream, sort of. I always wanted to move way out into the desert, never could find the right woman. And now after going overseas, you'll be in farther Alaska, without the blizzards. Congratulations and good luck with your boat (if you need any.)
I described your post to Judy and she immediately sympathized with your wife. But then, she's a city girl.
Watch out for the 4 boys. We adopted 2 kids and then started having biological ones. Try 2 at a time.
As to the pock marks in the hull, check out the pictures of the Ranger 23. If your marks are in the right place, you can leave them alone and get better speed.

Great job restoring your dory to a seaworthy state again. Nice pictures of fish and boys enjoying boating, fishing and your company. "Persistence pays off" and your work is proof of that. Congratulations on a job well done.

When I met my wife she was living in a cabin with four kids a mile from the road, packing water in. Our first batch of kids (6 total) are grown and gone on to their own lives. She is happy working with her herbs, vegetables and fruit trees while I'm out chasing deer and halibut and pulling crab traps. |

That sounds like true Alaskans right there!

Borris - got a laugh out of this  I was wondering how well this "dimpled" surface worked for them. First time I have seen this. Before everybody goes running for their dremmel tool to start gouging out the sides of their hull though - read some of the forums on "Boat Design.net" . Lots of manufacturers have tried various ways to introduce air to break the suction/drag created by water flow past the hull. Steps are nothing new - WW2 PT boats used them for increased speed. They do have other drawbacks though + a steps exact position is critical + they are normally only effective at a given speed and hull angle(load critical). Would be interesting to see how the same hull would respond with and without these "dimples". Anyway thanks for the laugh!
Thorne, excellent job on the boat! I envy your home and lifestyle as well. I was drooling over that halibut - one of my favorite fish.
Regards, Rob

Rob's mention of a step to induce cavitation reminded me of the insane OB powered dugout canoe races on a tight oval course the natives have once a year at La Push. The dugouts have a FLAT planing surface terminated by a SHARP edged vertical sternpost. Even a little curvature and reportedly they become squirrely as hell. I will search for that footage. Here is one:
